Metabolic Engineering : Principles and Methodologies |
|
|
From Book News, Inc.
A detailed exploration of the interdisciplinary field of metabolic engineering, including its applications to the production of chemicals, fuels, materials, and pharmaceuticals. The focus is on metabolism, but the concepts of pathway analysis are broad and are generally applicable to other types of reaction sequences, including those involved in protein expression and post-translational modification or in signal transduction pathways. Sidebars address on vario... >> |

Glowing Genes: A Revolution In Biotechnology |
|
|
From Publishers Weekly
Green fluorescent pigment (GFP), made naturally by jellyfish, has recently sparked a biological revolution. "GFP is a fantastically useful protein" because it can monitor and track other proteins "inside a living organism, without disrupting any molecular processes." As Connecticut College chemist Zimmer shows, scientists have cloned the gene for GFP and attached it to other genes in a wide array of organisms, from rabbits to monkeys and fish. When these other... >> |
